Televisions have reached an incredibly impressive point in my lifetime. Watching the medium grow from CRT tube TVs to early flatscreens to the now latest OLED panels, thin as a clipboard and with bezels imperceptible to the human eye fills me with awe of how far we’ve come. 4K resolutions with impeccable contrast that covers billions of colors can look more striking than real life itself, but none of it will matter if you’re only focus on picture. If you’re popping a squat on the living room couch to queue up a movie or TV show, it won’t feel truly cinematic unless you have good audio too—and the built-in speakers of any TV just aren’t up to snuff.
The good news is you can attain quality audio without needing to break the bank. Even the cheapest options out there can be an improvement on what you TV is equipped with out of the box. Take a look at the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus. This soundbar typically only sells for $250, but right now, you can get it for even less. It’s currently on sale for 24% off. That ends up taking the price down by $60, leaving you only having to pay $190 for a limited time.
This is an all-in-one 3.1-channel soundbar. It features a built-in bass and has support for sound formats including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X which can project 3D sound around the room. You’ll be able to experience sound with extreme clarity and depth that you simply can’t match on a TV’s built-in speakers.
Crystal Clear Dialogue
A common criticism of modern TV shows and movies are that they seem to be mixed poorly. In some cases, this is because the content was mixed with better audio equipment in mind. This can be why when you watching something, dialogue feels muffled but if you crank the volume too much to hear it more clearly, all the background effects and action elements will be way over blown.
Well, the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus has its center channel dedicated to dialogue. This results in conversations feeling sharper and far easier to parse. It also means it can be individually adjusted. You can raise the volume of dialogue without affecting the audio levels of everything else happening on screen.
Setup is super easy. The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus can be plugged into you TV over the included HDMI cable to your TV’s eARC/ARC port. The TV and soundbar should now recognize each other automatically, enabling you to even be able to control the soundbar volume using your TV’s existing remote.
